The 3M™ Adhesive Mix Sensor is a key component of the 3M™ Adhesive Mix Monitor system—an advanced solution designed to deliver real-time insight into the mix quality of two-part adhesives at the point of dispense. By supporting accurate monitoring of critical dispensing variables, the system helps manufacturers maintain proper mix ratios and process control, reducing the risk of bond failure and inconsistent adhesive performance. Whether you are establishing a new workflow or enhancing an existing process, the 3M™ Adhesive Mix Monitor system provides reliable, data-driven insight to help avoid common industry challenges.

The 3M™ Adhesive Mix Monitor is part of a family of lab-tested, innovative solutions developed to address the key demands of two-part adhesive applications. Using proprietary 3M technology, the system combines disposable sensors with a compact processing unit to analyze mix ratio accuracy, temperature, and adhesive cure, then transmits time-stamped data to your programmable logic controller (PLC) or PC. Where traditional quality checks may fall short in identifying the root cause of potential bond issues, this system enables proactive process optimization before disruptions occur. Continuous monitoring also helps protect dispensing equipment by reducing blockages, overuse, and unnecessary replacement. For added convenience, the system is compatible with many 3M two-part structural adhesives and links mix-quality data directly to the specific product on which the adhesive is applied.
